"Governmental agencies caused Martin Luther King to be assassinated... They caused this whole thing to happen. And they then proceeded with the powerful means at their disposal to cover this case up. This is a conspiracy... and that's a nasty word. People insult people in this country who use the word "conspiracy." Nowhere else in the world, as Bill Schaap told you, is it viewed that way. In Italy and France conspiracy is taken for granted because they have lived with it so much longer...

What we're asking you to do at this point in time is send a message. We're asking you to send a message, not just right a wrong. That's important, that you right a wrong and that you allow justice to prevail once and for all. Let it prevail. Let justice and truth prevail, else the heavens fall. No matter what, let it prevail. Let it come forward. We're asking you to let that happen. But in addition to that, we're asking you to send a message, send a message to all of those in power, all of those who manipulate justice in this country that you cannot get away with this. Or if you can get away with it, you can only get away with it for so long."

- Dr. William F. Pepper, closing argument, King Family v. Loyd Jowers and Other Unknown Co-conspirators, December 8, 1999.

For the first time since 1999, Americans and people around the world get to see what happened at the end of a trial that spanned three weeks, and produced many witnesses, some of which had never even been interviewed before. This 10-part series consists of the closing argument presented to the Jury, and summarizes the case against the true murderers of Dr. King.

There are many similarities between 4/4 (King was assassinated on April 4, 1968) and 9/11...--------------------------------------------------------------------------------On 9/11, luggage is "discovered" which contains evidence used to quickly build a case against Atta & Co.

On 4/4, a bundle is dropped in front of an amusement shop in Memphis which contains evidence used to quickly build a case against James Earl Ray. A slight continuity error here, the bundle (including the rifle alleged to kill Dr. King) is placed before the shooting.--------------------------------------------------------------------------------On 9/11, the crime scenes were not cordoned off and forensically examined, with tons of steel sold off for scrap, the crime scene was tampered with.

On 4/4, a sniper drops Dr. King, and brush that obscured the actual location of Dr. King's killer is removed the next day, reinforcing the idea that Ray shot King from a different location. The crime scene was tampered with.--------------------------------------------------------------------------------On 9/11 the NRO, which draws its personnel from the CIA and the military, was "running a pre-planned simulation to explore the emergency response issues that would be created if a plane were to strike a building." The exercise was cancelled.

According to testimony by covert asset Jack Terrell, a covert team with personnel from the Army's 20th Special Forces Group, which had been training with Thirty-Ought-Six rifles, was en route to Memphis at the time of King's assassination. The operation was cancelled before the team, or "group", could take their positions. Special Forces have been known to conduct covert operations at the behest of the CIA.--------------------------------------------------------------------------------Since 9/11, the corporate media has parroted one and only one theory, that Arabs did 9/11, even when alleged hijacker Adnan Bukhari turned up alive on 9/12, no problem, the media just took him off the list. The original story is perpetuated.

Since 4/4, the corporate media has parroted one and only one theory, that James Earl Ray shot King and confessed to the murder of King. Ray NEVER "confessed" to the murder of King, he plead guilty, but it was an Alford plea. "North Carolina v. Alford... was a case in which the Supreme Court of the United States affirmed on a 5-3 vote that there are no constitutional barriers in place to prevent a judge from accepting a guilty plea from a defendant who wants to plead guilty while still protesting his innocence. This type of plea has become known as an Alford plea, differing slightly from the nolo contendere plea in which the defendant agrees to being sentenced for the crime, but does not admit guilt.... courts must accept whatever plea a defendant chooses to enter, as long as the defendant is competently represented by counsel; the plea is intelligently chosen; and "the record before the judge contains strong evidence of actual guilt". Faced with "grim alternatives", the defendant's best choice of action may be to plead guilty to the crime, White wrote, and the courts must accept the defendant's choice made in his own interests." The media perpetuates the story to the present day.--------------------------------------------------------------------------------On 9/11, America's security system "failed" miserably. This has led to the speculation that this was a failure by design, including the possibility of a "stand down" order.

On 4/4, the police security normally in place for Dr. King was definitely ordered to "stand down" according to testimony by Phillip Melanson.--------------------------------------------------------------------------------9/11 was not an isolated incident. We can learn from preceding events. Arguably, all of the major assassinations in the United States during the 1960s were covert operations. (Peter Dale Scott has noted many similarities between JFK and 9/11.) Arguably, the 1993 WTC bombing, the OKC bombing, and 9/11 can be proposed as covert operations, and in this case, there is one CIA/FBI asset linking these three events, Ali Mohammed.

In 1999, Dr. William F. Pepper brought forth much truth about the assassination of MLK in a trial that would have been on the lips and in the eyes and ears of most Americans, and many people across the world, if the US media worked like it was envisioned by the founders of the United States of America. But now, the same companies that make the bombs make the news, and they protect their interests. "The spice must flow."

William Pepper will be part of a new independent investigation of 9/11, should the NYC 9/11 Ballot Initiative succeed.* In my opinion, Pepper's experience will guide the direction of the Commission in such a manner that they will be able to bring some truth to the American people, and indeed the world, about what happened on 9/11. The Commission will have subpoena power, and they will use it. Then it will be up to us to make sure that the Truth is on the lips and in the eyes and ears of all who can still reason, even after being bombarded with lies, deceptions and half-truths for years.

It is the repetition of the disinformation that is the most damaging, as William Schaap revealed in his testimony. Pepper asked him, "Why is [disinformation] so effective over time?"

"...this is an area where I had to consult with other experts because it turns out really to be a neurological function.

And that was first explained to me by a professor at Harvard Medical School. And it has to do with the way the human brain remembers things, the way we learn things, the way we create patterns and associations and reinforce -- well... sort of like channels in the brain when certain things trigger certain collateral thoughts.

And when you associate one thing with another over time, just the mention of the one brings the association of the other.

What this will sometimes mean is that even when something is later exposed as a lie, if it was accepted as a truth for a long time, the exposure of it as a lie is not believed.

It's in one ear and out the other."

I'm not a member of the Commission, and I can't offer true insight about how it is operating in this early stage. However, after studying Pepper's method in the MLK case, I can't think of a legal professional more qualified to start stripping away the layers of lies and obfuscation that surround 9/11.

I'm not saying that this Commission will uncover every scrap of Truth about 9/11, but I believe it will proceed forthrightly, and maybe there will need to be more independent Commissions in the future, perhaps an International Commission to distribute a more impartial justice.

Given the chance, however, I think Pepper will apply his skills as best he can, and this will mean trouble for anyone with secrets to hide about 9/11.

Will he and the Commission make mistakes? Undoubtedly, but compared to the block of Swiss Cheese that the original 9/11 Commission left us, it would have to fail in a most spectacular manner to be a worse product.

Please pass these links around, let's try and make this April 4th, the last April 4th that Americans blame a patsy named James Earl Ray for the murder of Dr. King.

Dr. William F. Pepper's closing argument to the Jury, December 8, 1999.

* It has been suggested that the New York City Council will not approve the Commission. According to the Ballot Initiative website, an additional 15,000 signatures will override the Council's rejection, if required.
